I don’t hate Tool or anything, and they absolutely have some fantastic tracks under their belt (Sober, Schism, etc.) but I find them to be one of the most overrated bands out there. Ænima is a perfect example of everything wrong with Tool in my opinion.
Firstly, there are NO standout tracks. Zero. Nothing on here has a chorus or a riff or anything that is going to stick with you. None of the songs have any strong moods, emotions, atmosphere, etc. It’s all very gray… Just the band playing some technical stuff while Maynard rambles on and on about something. Pretentious doesn’t begin to cover it.
Then there’s the fact that this thing is littered with useless interludes. It’s another shot at being “clever.” And damn they fooled a lot of people. The only time this many interlude tracks are acceptable is on a concept album where the interludes move along the story or connect the themes in some way. Here, we’ve got 6 interlude tracks, about 11 minutes of pointless nonsense that the most rabid Tool fans would defend as showcasing how we make assumptions based on the sound of things, even if the meaning is totally different… The thing is, I don’t care. I don’t care about whatever inside jokes or rabid drug induced revelations compelled them to make over a third of the tracks gimmicks. All I care about is how good the album sounds, and the album sounds like a mess.
The meat of the album is decent, but again, there’s no staying power, no reason to co ... See More

My most played album #946. Tool - Ænima. Triple platinum that is amazing for alternative metal. The song "Ænema" won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1998. In 2003, ranked the 6th most influential album of all time by Kerrang! In 2006, it placed 14th on a Guitar World readers poll 100 best guitar albums. In 2014, readers of Rhythm voted it the third greatest drumming album in the history of progressive rock. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart upon its initial release. 4 more hits "Stinkfist", "H.", "Eulogy" and "Forty Six & 2". A couple of noisy moments but a great album!

This is one of the best albums ever created by human beings if you ask me, from front to back it is nearly perfect. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to listen to Tool. Stinkfist, Eulogy, H. Forty Six & 2, Jimmy, Pushit, Ænema, Third Eye are all amazing......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

1집 Undertow에서 장족의 발전을 이룬 앨범이라 할 수 있다. 이들의 전작인 Opiate(EP)와 Undertow는 뉴메틀의 기반 위에 약간의 독창성을 기한 음악이었다면 이 앨범으로 그들은 새로운 장르를 개척했다고 봐도 무방할 정도로 완벽히 새로운 음악으로 환골탈퇴를 한 것이다. 프로그레시브적인 독창성과 실험성, 뉴메틀의 그루브함, 핑크플로이드에게서 영향을 받은 듯한 사이키델릭함 까지 포함하고 있는 이 앨범은 그야말로 완벽한 한편의 명작이라 할만 하다. 보통의 뉴메틀 밴드처럼 처음부터 끝까지 분노하고 포효하고 하는 감정선과 달리 이들은 너무나 영리하게 곡 속에서 인간의 감정선의 점층적 변화를 절묘하게 표현해내고 있다는 점 또한 주목할 만하다.
차곡차곡 끓어오르는 무언가를 억누르듯 힘을 비축해오다가 곡의 말미에 가서 일순간 대 폭발을 일으키고 마는데 꼭 화산이 대폭발 직전 부글거리는 끓어오름으로 시작해 말미에 그 모든걸 쏟아낸 후 잔해만 남은 휑한 모습이 자연스레 떠올려진다. (2번 트랙 Eulogy가 대표적)
가사 또한 지극히 추상적이다. 주로 인간 내면심리에 대한 내용이 많은데 해석을 해봐도 이미지만 어렴풋이 그려질 뿐 구체적으로 상이 맺혀지진 않는다. 확실히 이들의 음악은 단순히 듣기만 하기 ... See More

I used to play this cassette almost every night. Sometimes I fell asleep after a song or 2, sometimes I played the whole thing then flipped it back to Side A to hear it again. I had visions of the universe and started figuring out how I see the universe. The music from lyrics to time signatures to guitar textures, everything on this one is hugely powerful in delivering meaning. I truly love this album.

Justin Chancellor가 들어오고 만들어진 Tool의 2집. Hooker With a Penis까지는 청자를 압도하는 무언가가 있는데 그 이후엔 임팩트가 없다. 개인적으로 Stinkfist, Eulogy, Forty Six & 2 등은 Tool의 Best 10 tracks 안에 반드시 들어가야 한다고 생각한다

한 장의 앨범에서 청자에게 줄 수 있는 감동, 교훈?, 느낌, 감흥, 여흥은 어디까지 일까라는 물음을 던지게 하는 명반. Alternative와 Grunge Sound가 대세인 시기에 또 다른 Alternative를 제시한 앨범이다.

3번까지는 진짜 좋아하구.. 앨범 잘 듣다 Jimmy 때부터 집중력이 떨어져서 딴생각할때가 많아요. 요즘은 가끔 생각날때 좋아하는 앞부분 생략하고 Jimmy 부터 듣는다는ㅋ

얼핏 난해하고 이해하기 힘들 것 같았던 기분은 사실 이 밴드의 독보적인 매력의 첫 맛을 보는 순간 사라져버렸던 것 같다. 비비꼬인 진행이 오히려 시원시원하게 묘한 쾌감을 끊임없이 준다. 단, 중간중간 다큐멘터리를 재생하는 듯한 부분들은 어쩔 수 없이 들을 때 마다 스킵하게 된다. 굳이 비교대상을 꼽을 필요 없는 유니크한 개성...멋지다!

Tool isn't like a wine. They're already perfect that there's nothing to add on.

겁나 좋다. 툴의 최고 명반일 뿐 아니라 락/메탈 역사의 한페이지에 길이길이 남을 앨범이지만 귀에 안 맞는 많은 사람의 존재 등 호불호가 갈리는 독특한 앨범이다. Forty Six and 2와 Aenima, 마지막 트랙 Third Eye를 최고로 꼽고 싶다. 이 음반을 들을 때는 조금 더 뇌 속의 상상이 필요하다.

This album is Tool's magnum opus. The songs creep through your mind, seeping its juices everywhere, and you'll absolutely love it.
